We are PHYSICALLY DEAD
- when our body IS SEPARATED-OFF FROM our spirit (>>James 2:26).
- When our body DIES, it returns to dust in the earth;
- while our spirit returns to GOD WHO gave it (>>Ecclesiastes 12:7)!
And, our SOUL
IS SEPARATED-OFF FROM
the world's
time and spatial location
IS SEPARATED-OFF FROM
the world's
time and spatial location
- by virtue of THE DEATH of our body.
- >>>T#032
- Our SELF (our SOUL) made up of our Intelligences, Emotions, Urges & Appetites & Wills)
- at this stage,
- is rendered inutile, incapable of relating us vis-à-vis the world
- in the absence of the body.
- Our PERSON suffers the loss of consciousness
- in relation to the environment, people and events
- that we used to be with (>>Ecclesiastes 9:5-10).
We are SPIRITUALLY DEAD
- ....... as long as our SOUL
- is held captive or enslaved by our sinnings
- because we ARE SEPARATED-OFF FROM GOD
- by such enslavement or captivity!
- For the wages of sinnings is DEATH:
(>>Romans 6:16-23)
1. our PARTIAL often slow but our HURRIED SEPARATION FROM The World of ... QUESTS for 1-RECOGNITION, 2-FAME, 3-FORTUNE, INFLUENCE, POSITION, POWER, and SOVEREIGNTY!
- we call sickness and accidents!
2. our COMPLETE & FINAL SEPARATION FROM The World
- from loss of oxygen supply from our lungs and/or in our circulatory system for at least eight minutes
- we call physical death!
3. our THAT VERY INSTANT OF sinning SEPARATION-OFF FROM GOD
- we call spiritual DEATH!
- SO, even before our physical death,
- we have been for a time already
- continuingly...., or now and then....,
- spiritually dead
- because we have all sinned and fallen short
- of the glory of GOD
- (>>Roman 3:23, >>1st John 1:8-10)!!!
- Physical death is no issue at all,
- we all find agreement among ourselves
- that we all will die, physically!
The PRIORITY ISSUE
- [to learn, understand, and for us to take our stand at now(!)
- and be for the rest of our physical life reckoning with]
is the knowledge
about spiritual death
about spiritual death
- SO THAT THE TRUTH in Hosea 4:6
- will not befall us and
- our loved-ones we are to share
- this particular knowledge with!
WE may, as in this
present time, be whole
and intact ….
spirit, SOUL and body
(>>>T#032)
present time, be whole
and intact ….
spirit, SOUL and body
(>>>T#032)
- yet, because of our sinnings,
- we are spiritually DEAD ---
- --- SEPARATED-OFF FROM GOD!
- WE are spiritually DEAD
- even and emphatically so, as we go through
living in conformity with The World!
- (>>Romans 12:1-2)
- This is why we were called-out (ekklesia)
in our conformity to The World!!!!
>>Ephesians 2:1-5 ~
- “And you, HE made alive
- who were DEAD IN trespasses and sinnings
- in which you walked according to the course of this world
- according to the prince of the power of the air
- the spirit who now(!) works in the sons of disobedience
- among whom also we all once conducted ourselves
- in the lusts of our flesh
- fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind
- and were by nature children of wrath just as the others.
- But GOD, WHO is rich in mercy
- because of HIS great love with which HE loved us
- even when we WERE DEAD in trespasses
- made us alive together with THE CHRIST
- (by grace you have been saved).”
JESUS has already
dealt with
ALL THE SINNINGS of
MANKIND
- by HIS redemption work in that cross in Calvary in A.D.33.
but by HIS New COVENANT
TERMS & CONDITIONS,
TERMS & CONDITIONS,
- we are still to be sanctified
- through that one-time offering of the body of JESUS THE CHRIST
- for all of mankind (>>Hebrews 10:10).
- HIS blood however was not shed for the remission of the sinnings of all
- but only for the many (>>Matthew 26:28)!!!
- THOSE MANY are they who
- (in the way of Acts 2:37)
- after believing in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS
- and all HE did for us (>>Acts 2:14-36)
ASKS & OBEYS further
the other two specific
the other two specific
do-or-die commands
in >>Acts 2:38
- which leads to the forgiveness of all our sinnings
- we committed during all those years of
- our not having believed
- IN HIS LORDSHIP & CHRISTHOOD yet !!!!
SUCH FORGIVENESS
results
at that very instant
results
at that very instant
THE INDWELLING of
The Holy Spirit
IN US;
- afterwhich,
- we will just have to confess our every sinning we commit after that (>>1st John 1:9)
- .... for our continuing sanctification....
“There will be a resurrection
of the dead, >>>T#007
both of the just and
the unjust!”---- >>Acts 24:15
of the dead, >>>T#007
both of the just and
the unjust!”---- >>Acts 24:15
- PHYSICAL DEATH is not the end of any one!
- After we DIE,
we ALL
will all rise
from our deaths!
>>John 5:24-29 ~
“Most assuredly, I say to you,
- he who hears MY WORD
- and BELIEVES IN Him Who SENT ME
- has the everlasting life,
- and shall not come into judgment,
- but has passed from death into THE LIFE.
Most assuredly, I say to you,
- the hour is coming and now is,
- when the dead will hear the voice of THE SON of GOD
- and they who hear will live.
- For as The Father has THE LIFE in Himself,
so He has granted
THE SON
to have
THE LIFE
in HIMSELF
THE SON
to have
THE LIFE
in HIMSELF
- and has given HIM AUTHORITY
- to execute JUDGMENT also
- because HE is THE SON of Man.
- Do not marvel at this
- for the hour is coming in which all
- who are in the graves will hear HIS voice and come forth
- --- they who have done good,
to THE RESURRECTION
of THE LIFE
of THE LIFE
- and they who have done evil,
to THE RESURRECTION of
CONDEMNATION.”
CONDEMNATION.”
- No doubt these truths were meant by THE CHRIST JESUS
- to them who heard these words direct from HIS mouth then!!!
THE New COVENANT
TERMS & CONDITIONS,
- of which HE is THE MEDIATOR,
- >>Hebrews 8:6, 9:15, 12:24
- took effect only ---- after
- HE died and rose to heaven (>>Hebrews 9:15-17);
- more specifically, on that Pentecost Day of A.D. 33
- when The Holy Spirit first came to indwell IN believers
- who repented and gotten themselves baptized
- for no other purpose
- but for the remission of all their sinnings
- committed prior to their believing in THE LORDSHIP & THE CHRISTHOOD of JESUS
- and HIS REDEMPTION WORK as preached (>>Acts 2:14-36) by Peter for the first time !!!
>>John 6:53-58 ~ Then, JESUS said to them
- “Most assuredly, I say to you
- unless you eat the flesh of THE SON of Man
- and drink HIS blood
- you have not THE LIFE in you.
- Whoever eats MY flesh and drinks MY blood has the eternal life
- and I will raise him up at the last day.
- For MY flesh is food indeed
- and MY blood is drink indeed.
- He who eats MY flesh
- and drinks MY blood
- abides in ME
- and I in him.
- As The Living Father sent ME
- and I live because of The Father,
- so he who feeds on ME
- will live because of ME.
- This is THE BREAD which came down from heaven
- --- not as your fathers ate the manna and are dead.
- He who eats THIS BREAD will live forever.”
Flesh and blood is necessary
for physical life.
for physical life.
Even the loss of just either
spells death for man.
spells death for man.
- To eat is to partake into our inner being,
- in our innermost being – in our spirit
and the call of JESUS
is to partake of HIS very life
as the way we abide in HIM
- to assuredly share fully HIS resurrected LIFE IN ETERNITY!
>>John 6:63 ~
- “It is The Spirit Who gives THE LIFE
- the flesh profits nothing.
- The Words that I speak to you are food for your spirit,
- and they are for you THE LIFE.”
>>Romans 8:11 ~
- “But if The Spirit of Him Who raised JESUS from the dead
- dwells in you
- He who raised JESUS from the dead
- will also give THE LIFE to your mortal bodies
- through HIS Spirit Who indwells you.”
- and are continuously lead by The Holy Spirit (>>>T#030)
ARE THE SONS OF GOD
(>>Romans 8:14)
- contrary to what denominationalists
- and “believe only”
- and instant salvation PREACHERS
- claim based on >>John 1:12 which according to them
- is thus: But as many as received Him, to them He gave THE TITLE children of God, to those who believe in His name.
- But this is not so!!!!
They omitted and replaced
THE RIGHT TO BECOME
THE RIGHT TO BECOME
- in GOD’s WORD with their own
- THE TITLE children of GOD."
“THE RIGHT TO BECOME
CHILDREN OF GOD”
CHILDREN OF GOD”
- is not by believing only
- BUT THROUGH
- (not BY one-time utterance of your faith)
- OUR FAITH IN THE CHRIST JESUS
- which includes repenting and getting ourselves baptized
- into THE CHRIST’s death, burial and resurrection
- >>1st Corinthians 15: 1-4
- as to be thereafter wearing or putting on THE CHRIST!
- >>Galatians 3:26-27!
- >>Romans 6:3-23!
>>2nd Thessalonians 1:7-8 ~
- “…THE LORD JESUS is to be revealed from heaven
- with HIS mighty angels.
- In flaming fire TAKING VENGEANCE ON THEM
- who do not know GOD,
- and on them WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL of our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST.”
>>1st Corinthians 15:1-4 ~
- “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you THE GOSPEL
- which I preached to you
- which also you received
- and in which you stand.
- By which you are saved,
IF you hold fast
THAT WORD which
I preached to you
THAT WORD which
I preached to you
- --- unless you believed in vain.
- For I declared to you foremost of all
- that which I also received:
THAT THE CHRIST
DIED for OUR SINNINGS
DIED for OUR SINNINGS
- according to THE SCRIPTURES
- and that HE was buried
- and that HE rose again the third day
- according to THE SCRIPTURES
- and we have to know HIM more in HIS resurrected status!
